Houston Relocation Professionals elects new board members

Last week Houston Relocation Professionals’ (HRP) Board of Directors elected four new board members. They are: Brett Lyons of Chevron, Denise Fisch of TheMIGroup, Don Rupe of Graebel Companies and Erin Curington of Sterling Relocation, Inc.

The new board members will serve a three-year term beginning in January 2014. They join the following returning board members: Brian Smith of Citibank, Michelle Sandlin of Chicago Title, Meredith Morris of McKenzie Drake, Norma Chaney of Heritage Texas Properties, Piper Sheffield of Stewart Relocation Services, Charles Ameno of Chevron, Alan Grantham of Citibank, Steve Townsend of NEI Global Relocation and Holly Holmes of AIReS.

HRP’s 2014 Executive Committee will be as follows: Michelle Sandlin will serve as president; Meredith Morris will serve as vice president; Brian Smith will serve as treasurer; Holly Holmes will serve as secretary; and Norma Chaney will serve as administrator/mentor.

Following the election of board members, HRP held its annual strategic planning session, and will be announcing upcoming events and new information in the coming weeks.

This has been a banner year for HRP, and as the newly elected president for 2014, I look forward to working closely with my fellow board members next year to ensure that we continue to bring value to our members and sponsors through our educational events and networking opportunities. At the same time, we will continue to give back to our local community through our charitable contributions and community outreach programs.

We intend for HRP’s mission statement to be echoed throughout our many efforts and activities in 2014.
